¡Feliz Cinco de Mayo!

Cinco de Mayo is more than just an excuse to indulge in tacos and margaritas—it’s a celebration of culture, community, and resilience. While the holiday commemorates the Mexican army’s unexpected victory over French forces at the Battle of Puebla in 1862, in the U.S., it has grown into a day that honors Mexican-American heritage through vibrant food, music, and togetherness.

Whether you’re hosting a lively fiesta or enjoying a laid-back evening with loved ones, we’re here to help you celebrate in delicious style—with recipes, drinks, and ideas that bring the spirit of Cinco de Mayo to life.

A Quick Look at the History

Food has always been a key part of how culture is preserved and shared, and this day is the perfect opportunity to embrace it.

• Taquitos, nachos & other bites – Crunchy, cheesy, and totally addictive chicken taquitos.
